Greece employment laws apply both to foreign nationals and their citizens. The majority of Greek labor laws favor the employees. Let us understand in detail the employment laws in Greece for citizens and foreigners.
Employees are classified as either full-time employees or contractors in Greece. Employers classify these workers based on the type of project the employee is hired for and in accordance with the Greek employment laws.
The difference between a full-time employee and a contractor is that full-time employees are entitled to benefits such as statutory sick pay, parental leaves, legal protection from unfair dismissal, health benefits and insurance packages, time-off for emergencies, and flexible work requests. Contractors in Greece, work on a single project basis, they are solely responsible for filing their taxes, work for multiple clients simultaneously, and are not entitled to the statutory benefits organizations are mandated to provide for full-time employees.
In Greece, people prefer full-time employment. The primary reason for this is, full-time employment provides a higher level of financial security in comparison to contractor-based employment.
To easily hire and onboard full-time employees and contractors in Greece with no hassles, contact Skuad today.
In Greece, the state supports employment programs through the Greek Manpower Employment Organization (OAED) and promotes employment of the people under the age of 25 or the long unemployed by reading labor costs. Before an employee starts working, the organization needs to register certain information about the employee in the online information system namely ERGANI.
Hiring for jobs takes place through advertisements and job portals such as skywalker.gr, kariera.gr, jobsite.gr, gr.jooble.org, randstad.gr and more. While interviewing a candidate in Greece, it is important to know about the limitations on background checks. If you are collecting any personal data for an employee, it must be limited to data absolutely required for assessing the candidate for a particular job. If conditions are not followed then there are penalties according to the GDPR regulations.
Greece focuses more on health and safety obligations. Therefore, if an organization employs fewer than 50 employees, one safety technician should be hired by the employer, and organizations having more than 50 employees must hire an occupational physician. If any organization breaches their obligations related to health and safety, heavy civil penalties, administrative penalties (it includes closure of business) and criminal penalties are levied.
Ultimately, the process of hiring contractors and full-time employees in Greece is challenging and time-consuming. Therefore, partnering with an Employer of Record platform like Skuad is the best way to go.
